Continuous Measurements

Statistics cycles, stop condition: NONE

A continuous measurement with statistics cycles consisting of 100 bursts each is performed. Average results are calculated according to the rules given in section Calculation of average quantities. The measurement is started with the INITiate command. Results can be queried using the SAMPle...? command (status RUN). During the measurement FETCh...? may return inconsistent results. The measurement is configured via:
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol <type> 100
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol:REPetition CONTinuous,NONE,NONE
 
   
Statistics cycles, stop condition: SONerror

A continuous measurement with statistics cycles consisting of 100 evaluation periods each is performed. The measurement is started with the INITiate command. Results can be queried the SAMPle...? command (status RUN, STOP). During the measurement FETCh...? may return inconsistent results. If the stop condition is met during the first statistics cycle no valid result is available. The measurement is configured via:
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol <type> 100
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol:REPetition CONTinuous,SONerror,NONE
 
   
Statistics off, stop condition: NONE

A continuous measurement is performed. No statistics cycles are defined. The measurement is started with the INITiate command. Results can be queried using the SAMPle...? command (status RUN). During the measurement FETCh...? may return inconsistent results. The measurement is configured via:
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol <type> OFF
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol:REPetition CONTinuous,NONE,NONE
 
   
Statistics off, stop condition: SONerror

A continuous measurement is performed. No statistics cycles are defined. The measurement is started with the INITiate command. Results can be queried the SAMPle...? command (status RUN, STOP). During the measurement FETCh...? may return inconsistent results. The measurement is configured via:
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol <type> OFF
CONFigure:<meas_obj>:CONTrol:REPetition CONTinuous,SONerror,NONE

Note:
The stepping mode can be set for continuous measurements as well (Parameter <Stepmode>=STEP, see section Counting Measurements). In this case, the system takes up the STEP status after each statistics cycle. It can be relaunched via the CONTinue command.
